Sisco was diagnosed with a concussion last Sunday after taking a foul tip to the mask. He also suffered a laceration on his chin. The 23-year-old backstop has posted a disappointing .181/.288/.269 batting line over 184 plate appearances this season for Baltimore.

Alex Cobb was removed from Sunday's start against the Yankees after just four pitches when the blister on his right index finger flared up again.

The blister first became an issue for Cobb back in July and it's now forced him from two of his three starts this month. The veteran right-hander's season is undoubtedly over now. It was a disappointing one, as Cobb posted a 4.90 ERA in his first year with the Orioles after inking a four-year, $57 million contract.

Andrew Cashner (knee) may not make another start for the Orioles this season.

Cashner was scratched from his scheduled start on Monday due to swelling in his knee, and he's still dealing with pain in the area. With nothing left to play for, there's no reason for the O's to risk further aggravation by running him out there again this season.

Luis Ortiz (hamstring) has been shut down for the remainder of the regular season.

No surprise after he departed his first major league start last Friday against the White Sox after suffering a left hamstring strain. The 22-year-old right-hander, acquired from the Brewers in the Jonathan Schoop trade, will be a candidate for the Orioles' Opening Day rotation next spring.

Miguel Castro is currently dealing with a knee injury and his 2018 season is likely over.

Castro has dealt with knee injuries before, and had tendinitis in both knees before spring training. His 2018 season is likely over, and he likely finishes the year with an ERA of 3.96 and 1.45 WHIP in 86 1/3 innings. He'll likely pitch in middle relief for the Orioles in 2019.

The left-hander underwent season-ending surgery in late June after being diagnosed with a Grade 3 tear of his left lat. The fact that he has already started his throwing program is a very encouraging sign, and a strong indicator that he'll be ready in time for the start of the regular season.
